Bessent: Countries who did not retaliate will be rewarded

[UltimaOnline]

But Trump and his staffs statements seem to contradict each other...

Treasury and his secretary said, "This is art of the deal.", .etc etc. And it is part of Trump's strategy. Those who didn't retaliate are rewarded.

But Trump later said it is his strategy all these while. Then a reporter asked has it got to do with the treasury selloff, Trump said no. Later he then says what too many countries want to negotiate so he extended time. However, he ended by saying like market is spooked that's why he paused the tariffs.

Then now they also said all the other countries tariffs are put to 10%, except China. But Canada retaliated too, yet their tariffs also reset to 10% and paused?

Something tells me they aren't telling the truth. Seems more like they backed track because they never expect things to backfire so much (all retaliatory tariffs + treasury selloff and mass market selloff, .etc).

Source: watch the Treasury Besset and secretary talk. Then Trump's talk.
